Actually he is so right for that time of the morning, and is able to do and get away with things ("Dark Lord... Boloxnia... Slap My Top"), and, moreover, play tracks that he wouldn't be able to if he were on at any other time of the day. Shame that 99% of the population is asleep at the time._________________Ron

Good to know he's improved - I thought you'd said he'd gone a bit rubbish lately, Rachel. Has he been reading here?

Well I did think the Boloxina thread went on for a bit and Alex was sounding a bit hacked off (I understand why) with his car bursting into flames and other unpleasant things but he's back better than ever. I don't think he reads stuff on here though, although I do know that he's been sent stuff from here in the past so maybe that has happened again. Whatever it is, he's on top form at the moment, and tomorrow is Friday - always the best show of the week!! Don't miss it.

Fred, in my experience girly-type crushes are short lived and replaced on a regular basis with a new one, usually of a younger age and more poster friendly than the previous one. Alex and his Best Time of The Day Show are irreplaceable in terms of broadcasting excellence, sure they could put someone else on at that time but it would be a vacuous void of entertainment making a desert of the early morning.

I've been a fan of Alex and his show for many years.
I was right about the Friday Show too... check it out on listen again..

After a weekend of unrelenting stygian gloom, I'm an hour into this morning's show on my MP3 player here at work and even though the dank weather continues outside, with Alex in full flow, it feels like mid summer in the office.

Alex is back on Monday ( woohoo!) but there is absoloutely no Alex available this weekend. No listen again with Alex , no 15 hour Alexfest on the laptop. No fun , no highlights, no podcast, no nothing. This is the first time this has happend since his US trip ..... Roll on Monday!

Poor Rachel! Come to think of it, I don't think Herr Slappmeister has appeared on Popmaster yet has he? Rachel, have a word in his shell like!_________________Lord Evan Elpuss, Your ideal job is a Lumberjack.

He's made a few references to it over the past couple of weeks. Let's hope it's true.
He mentioned this morning that "for reasons which will become clear over the next few weeks" he is selling his house. I wonder if this has anything to do with it?

Bet la Kennedy is cacking it _________________He's not the Messiah- he's a very naughty boy!

Don't tell Rachel, but it has for quite a while now - several years, in fact - I just don't get the opportunity to listen to much of it these days, nor the time to listen again. _________________Cherskiy

Well ... I don't know LEE I don't think it'll be anything like a doggy biscuit, a massage, a bunch of grapes or a complete course in Latin..... All tasty treats indeed..... I'd go for something, musical... "A Flute perhaps?" .. No!!! "Piano?" No!!! "Didgeridoo?" Look! ... Music...... something maybe that you don't often get to hear; that's what I reckon anyway... but what would I know? I'm just guessing: that's the fun part of a treat.....the wondering what it is?
